Mark in L.A. took the concept up a notch by adding a small extension to the side and thereby expanding the space, and complimenting the design. I love the clean, light lines of the siding boards and the use of vertical roofing panels for siding accents.

From Mark, in L.A.: “I’ve been meaning to send you pix of our shed…born of your plans. we expanded it a bit to fill the space…and built in some much needed storage. Now my wife has moved her office out of the dining room and looks forward to her mornings sequestered in her shed, working away.”

Shed by Ron and George, Hollywood, CA: “Your plan was so helpful in getting us to think about the right things and do them in the right order. This is 10’ x 8’ with Home Depot lumber. The facade is completely reclaimed. We found the pebbled window in a salvage yard for $30 and the tu-tone luan and door came from a gut job in Hollywood next door to my son’s actor friend. We found a pile of bright blue painted plywood that someone had used as a blue screen studio in the garage, but on the flip side was pristine luan, that makes good siding with enough battens behind it… My son is now using this place as an music and audio post studio, and it’s really allowed him to get stuff done.”

It’s been a few months since I first published DIY Modern Shed Plans, and a few of those who purchased it have been kind enough to share some photos and feedback from their own projects. One of my goals for starting this blog was to create a community for DIYers like me to share ideas and inspiration. On this post I will start a gallery of projects that others share, along with comments about the process. If you are reading this and would like to share your project here, please email your photos (and indicate permission to post) to me at: petermayx@gmail.com.
